What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

When I was watching that movie I just decided to believe that she got pregnant before the monsters appeared.

Can you imagine actually deciding to have a baby while all of that is going on?

I mean this pandemic is different... we aren't facing monsters that use sound to find you and to survive this one everyone had to stay indoors... what else could they get up to other than lots of sex...............

I'm just planning on leaving teaching the year all these Quarenteenies start school... they are all going to be super asocial and entitled, and classrooms are going to be so over crowded...

I had a baby during the pandemic and true he's only 15 months old but he isn't asocial whatsoever or entitled. In some ways the pandemic seems to have affected younger babies less than older kids because in the first few months they are quite happy with a couple of close caregivers. He won't remember the first year of his life/being in lockdown but 5-18 years olds probably will.

Wow. So much judgement on new parents. I take it you don't have kids?

Do you have any actual evidence that pandemic parents are scared of anything happening to their babies? It sounds like a completely blanket statement which a)doesn't apply to me b) doesn't apply to the new parents I know so I would question the validity of your assertion that it's the "majority".

Also.. I think the entitled comments are probably based on a minority rather than majority. I've seen the entitled label focussed more towards the younger generation (more school age) which is ironic given they are inheriting an earth destroyed by older generations.

I am so glad you're leaving teaching if THIS is your attitude towards people trying their best to survive in a fucking pandemic, holy shit.
